It is most rewarding to hear that your WH-1000XM5 is working out so well for both your meetings and your personal time.

Adding music to the mix and I can relax, unwind, and not worry about getting too overstimulated. Excellent for those who can get easily overstimulated with excessive/complex/loud noises.

Perfectish
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything was upgraded except for the bass and volume. Cushion is better, look is modern, touchpad is more responsive and the noise drowning is a touch better. Like I said, the M4s are louder and bass-punch you harder but sound is superb as usual.

Made her Happy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to upgrade to the Sony XM5 from XM4 for my 18 yr old daughter and she commented that XM5 feels more comfortable although sound quality was very much the same for both. She was very happy and that is what matters.

Posted .Hi NicolasC,
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying the magnificent sound quality of the Sony - WH1000XM5. We also appreciate your feedback on the volume; for a more personalized sound, you may want to explore the equalizer settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. It allows you to customize the sound profile to your liking, which might help you get a little more out of them.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Best Headphones I've Owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the headphones for a year now and still love them. I listen to audio books, music, and make calls when I go for walks outside. The sound is fantastic the call quality is insane. The connectivity is crisp and I can set my phone in the middle of the house and listen and talk anywhere I go while doing house chores. The head pinch was a bit of a problem at first. Found that wearing a hat helped early on to add some padding. As the headphones wore in, the band has lost the pinch.

Great for everything but working out!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy the headphones while studying but they are not for working out! They slip off my head constantly & when I’m moving my arms with weights the headphones think I’m trying to change the song, etc. so the music is constantly being interrupted. The music sounds great though & the noise canceling option works extremely well! Great for studying but not for working out!

Posted .Hi ElishaT, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience so far using your Sony WH-1000XM5. We're glad you love the exceptional sound quality and excellent noise cancellation of your headphones. Having read your review regarding the fit and waterproof performance, these headphones have great cushioning and adjustability. This will help the headphones stay on your head while working out. These will work great for you while working out “Non-Hardcore”. That being said, these headphones are not specifically designed for sports activities as the unit is not sweat resistant. If the proximity sensor part inside the left unit housing gets fogged up or there are water droplets on it due to condensation or humidity from sweat, etc., wearing detection may not work properly. We recommend you practice caution when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess
